Dear Shane Rattenbury MLA

I write to thank you, and acknowledge your efforts towards lifting the criminal age of responsibility.

I understand that Indigenous 10-17 year olds make up less than 6% of the population but are 56% of young people in detention.
Taking action now to introduce laws and programs that reduce the number of Aboriginal children in custody is important to me.

In your capacity as Attorney General, I ask that you prioritise this issue, take action now, and commit to the goal to halve the number of young Aboriginal people in detention by 2025.

Once again, I offer my support for the work you have undertaken to date.

Most sincerely
